Teachers work 9 months a year, and they are currently in working season. If they don't want to work, they shouldn't be paid


What's more pathetic: harassing an old man who is paying to do a radio show or supporting a grifter like Trump?

As if parents needed yet another reason to support school choice, though Chicago Public Schools is the poster child for why school choice is a necessity anyway.

If you are particularly at risk of Covid, YOU need to take action to protect yourself. Mask up. Vax up (if you can). Find a new profession. But life must go on. Keeping these kids out of the classroom as long as they were was already shown to be pretty bad on their development.

Children can easily learn at home while teachers with compromised immune systems can be protected.


They/them, non-binary and proud.

Or alternatively someone can sit in the classroom and keep order while the teacher is virtual. Taking precious developmental time away from 30 kids isn’t worth it to protect 1 teacher.

That's not what's being offered though.

There's plenty of evidence that your statement is not true.

I’m saying we can innovate here.

Rate This and MCRF are not the same person.
However, they DO seem to be members of the same 'union'...

As usual, you make no sense.

Thanks to MW for confirming the truth.

Both my wife and I grew up in desperate poverty. Indeed the first few years of our life together, we lived in poverty. I got my first big break when I got a job in a Union shop, with decent wages and benefits and something called a "Pension Plan."

Today we're retired. We aren't wealthy, but we live in modest comfort. No working class person should have to settle for anything less.


I started out with nothing and I still have most of it.

Too bad pensions are a thing of the past generally. 401K’s are whats happening now.

I've heard the term 401 K, but I don't know what it means. It's something we don't have in Canada.

You live better than Kings and Queens of even 200 years ago.


New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

And this is the 21st century. Your point is?
